No Nonsense Now.

In Iowa, under the name of Iowa,
there never has been suffrage that
had to pay tax to vote. When we were
unfortunate enough to be helpless
part of Missouri, and after when we
were part of Michigan, suffrage was
restricted to those who had paid terri
torial taxes. When, fifty years ago
last July, we became part of Wis
consin, "all free white male citizens"
were entitled to vote, and the pre-
requisite of tax-paying omitted from
the qualifications of voters. 1t is an
interesting item of history that in no
part of the Union, east of the west line
of Iowa, except in Iowa and Minnesota,
have the people always exercised the
right of suffrage without prepayment
of some sort of tax.-Iotoa State
